Kaden's 8th Grade Graduation

June 23, 2017: Kaden's 8th Grade Graduation Celebration!

I went over with Jana, Kaden's best friend's Mom.  We tried to get there early...but apparently we weren't early enough.  We ended up high in the bleachers, but we managed to sit near the center, so we were able to have a nice view of everything.  

Kaden receiving the Citizenship Award.  There were less than 25 kids in his graduating class to be selected for this award.  The students who receive the Citizenship Award are selected by their team of teachers in honor of their excellent example in and outside of the classroom.  I'm so proud of Kaden!  The neat thing is that his best friend Gabe also received the same award.

This is a video of the video presentation they showed during graduation.  Kaden is featured a few times. 

 A few still shots from the video.

 Gabe and his Mom, Jana.

 Kaden and Gabe aren't too fond of our Mom need for lots of photos, but they will often humor us with a few shots.

 Kaden hit his happy face photo limit LOL!

And this photo here: My newest favorite of Kaden!  

I love everything about it!  I love his genuine smile and the happiness I see in his face!
